Tune Req: When the wasps and the bees have a party

I have the words to a children's song but don't remember the tune and don't have chords. It goes like this:

When the wasps and the bumblebees have a party,
Nobody goes that can't buzz.
When the chicks and the ducklings have an outing,
Everyone has to wear fuzz.
When the frog and the snake have their yearly clam bake,
There's plenty of wiggling and hopping.
They splash in the pond and the marshes beyond,
and everyone has to get sopping.

Hi,
I don't think sheet music exists for this (or not that I know of), because this is one of the songs made up by Frances, the little badger in Russell Hoban's series of children's books. This particular song was from "Best Friends for Frances". Frances' songs are great, and the books themselves are brilliant. I wish there was sheet music available for the songs too!
